Jaybird Cave is a cave located in Perry County, Tennessee. The cave is located in a hollow near the Buffalo River northeast of Lobelville.[1] The cave reportedly served as shelter for Henri DeLobel, the founder of Lobelville.[3] There is archeological evidence of saltpeter mining in the cave.[4] It is a roosting location for the endangered little brown bat. In 2013, white nose syndrome was detected in the cave.[5]
